Hey, guys. Looking for any help I can get here to get me back up and playing today. I don't own a drill or an extractor. Any tips/tricks as to how I can get this screw out? Thanks.
So this happened last night (sheared screw)

Owning some tools (or a nearby friend who does) is pretty much a "requirement" of pinball upkeep repair. A cordless drill in particular. But an extractor screw set is an inexpensive purchase at Canadian Tire. If there is even a tiny bit of protruding shaft then often a pair of locking pliers, or even a slothead screwdriver (if you can grind or tap a relief to catch on).
These are the "standard" ways (obviously avoiding the blow torch and "nut weld" methods, lol):

Yap, I watched this video before posting actually, but just thought maybe someone here on the forum knew of an easy fix for this situation. No worry. I'll figure it out. Thanks.
